autohomoatic drawers simply cannot compete with those who can construct at will anything they want in the vision they see in their imagination. They simply rely on happy accidents and scuffing in the dark until they find something, undoing and eroding until the marks they fester tirelessly becomes an image they haven’t intended from the start.

Construction has always been a cope by people who lack the intuitive ability to draw and want to try and brute force a simulation of drawing.

Sure, that doesn't mean every sketch or underpainting is construction by default.

I've attached an example of how planning of many gorgeous pieces usually goes, no construction, just SOUL.

"How to draw" teachers say the only way to draw is by drawing a ball and a box. Then combining them to create a figure, head or whatever.
The argument here is that it is not true. There are no rules and classical painters didn't follow what modern cucks say it is necessary to create art.
The issue today is that too many "artists" rely on being correct (anatomy, perspective) instead of actually creating art.

the construction methods, which by clarity, and austere compensating logic, can facilitate the understanding of 3D space and planes of complex objects were invented for adults who begin to learn drawing, so that they do not need to advance in the dark by banging into all the walls for ten years of childhood and adolescence until time, bruteforce and neuroplasticity allow them to make their way, because adults have neither the patience and means to wait ten years ; nor the neuroplasticity.
That you find more demonstrative videos that show people not using basic construction than the other way around proves nothing, because ( this is a reminder) :
good teachers have never established construction as the final means to realize a finished and serious work, https://youtu.be/Z9Px68r5BNU?t=161 since it can stiffen a drawing, but as a training means, when you just start to draw such object and you don't understand the basic structure yet but you want to learn to internalize it in a short time
>But you can't internalize this cope cope constructoid cope westoid copecope ( and other buzzwords )
so you can internalize a thing in its most complex form, but not one in its most basic form? A object in its most basic form would not be easier to internalize than one in its most complex form, is that what you're saying ? Surely you wouldn't say that unless you were missing some crucial neurons, unless you were able to explain it with real arguments.

Construction is just a tool, mostly for learning and complex perspectives. All these artists that don't use construction have most likely used it as a learning tool at some point, or are learning to draw poses from other artists who had to utilize construction to figure it out initially.

Sure there are a lot of nice artist's out there who don't utilize construction much, and aren't 'constructoids' but for the most part those guys are neets drawing the same little girl in the same outfit in an uninventive way that's already been done 1000's of times. The artists with the most prolific and ground breaking careers are always adept at constructing

>> No.6240524

People who use construction do it out of habit because that's the way they were taught, not because they use it as a crutch. A good artist should be able to do free-hand stuff if they want to.

If you never do construction and only practice freehand stuff of course you'll be better at it, plus a lot of the anime poses/faces/hair is all virtually identical and simplified so it's easy muscle memory.

Not that anon, but yes. Youtube is full of people who have excellent construction and perspective ability, but who do not know how to draw things as they look. The end result is, as expected, incredibly robotic looking, repetitive line structure that lacks rhythmic qualities.

People who obsess over construction and perspective as a means of drawing are going about it the wrong way. It's the midwit theory as applied to drawing. Grug and Michelangelo do not use construction. Michelangelo was known for explicitly advising against most things people today take as law when they learn drawing. Da Vinci was also incredibly focused on observation skills and he writes about it in his painting book.

Some random drawing from Drawing Lessons From The Great Masters showing a bunch of box figures without any fucking context as to what the intent behind that drawing was, shows how ignorant people are. No one who can draw figures in perspective that well needed to draw that. It's purpose was for something else. So here it goes.

What construction is, is a great teaching and verification tool. If you're stuck on a drawing and you don't know what's wrong, construction and perspective can help guide you as a starting point. Something you check, either address or disqualify, and move on. If you're unsure, you can always reel it back to a state where you're breaking it down bit by bit until you fix something. Bad construction will not break a drawing.

Beginning a drawing with construction means that you're not even sure of what it is you want to draw. Which often times points back to not even knowing how things look like and a lack of confidence of freehand drawing a thing even if it's wrong, knowing it's position, placement, scale, etc, will have to be adjusted and hence construction and perspective won't be of much use at the early stages.

I forget who said it, might be from a book, it might have been vilppu or someone: learn perspective, and then forget it.

Because the essence of an artist's work is in the shapes he makes. A strong sense of form has no personality on it's own; it doesn't express anything, it's simply an fundamental attribute like strength or endurance that provides the artist the ability to create the illusion that his shapes exist in 3d space. Those who overemphasize construction tend to have a underdeveloped shape language and a weak artistic identity.

It isn't perfect but it helps as a comic artist. This took roughly 30 seconds. You can create storyboards while laying the sketch down. When you get ready to create it becomes easy to create the background around it and lay clothes atop the figure.

Very true. This guy I know who claims to construct everything just sucks ass so much. Ironically he is eager to "correct" others. His art is so ugly but I don't tell him that because he has ego problems.

Quite the constructoid here.
Both drawing styles seem to have their advantages and draw backs. I mostly stick to using some form of construction on most of my drawings but not using construction does seem to give a piece a specific "charm" to it and it is kinda enjoyable in its own different way.

Construction makes it eazier to plan out the drawing and catch mistakes early, also allows you to isolate the lineart more as the other things have been taken care of (perspective, anatomy, composition, whatever) , also good for accuracy when doing imaginative drawing.

Non-construction makes it eazier to "go with the flow" in a way, unsure how it pans out on an actual piece but it works for a sketch. Seems to work well for simple things and/or simple perspectives , I assume this depends on skill level as mine is not that high.

It is good to know that you dont need construction for absolutely anything, but I honestly prefer it. At the end of the day do what gets the best results and works for you.

Should have said:
>Non-construction SEEMS makes it eazier.
My fault for not being clear enough here.

My sample size was like 1 lazy trad 1-2 mintue sketches I did without laying down any sort of foundation and a vague recollection of some i think about 5 5-10 minute animu sketches , 2 of which actually looked good I did like 6 months ago in a journal.
(dont remember how much time i actually spend on the drawings)

You could argue I constructed it in my mind or something but idk.

>anti-construction
Also I am not even anti-construction. At the end of the day use whatever works for you. I personally prefer construction. Hell , I will even do the construction/sketch and leave it at that a bit more that I would like to admit.
